I was surprised when I discovered abortion in Germany was illegal past the first trimester, abortion in the first trimester required counseling similar to what the evangelical right have been pushing for, and gay marriage was illegal until 2015. American shitlibs treat that country like it's some sort of utopia.
A lot of the constraints that European states put on their social safety net to make it work wouldn't be acceptable to the American left or Americans in general. For example the American left likes to talk about free university education in Germany, but the regiment of standardized testing they use to weed students out of attending university and funnel them into trade schools and the like would be completely unacceptable to a lot of people even on the right.

Male homosexual acts were illegal in Germany until like 1995.
